Sno Mountain Skier Posted May 8, 2005 Author Report Posted May 8, 2005 What are you looking for? 26573[/snapback] Im lookin for a siver cartel dealer. It is a freestyle ski clothing company. I am personaly tryin to find something from this year for next year but its just as hard yo find a place with there stuff left on the internet as much as finding a dealer near home. Quote

skidude Posted May 9, 2005 Report Posted May 9, 2005 (edited) Its off the turnpike near quakertown (one exit past allentown) Edit: coming from the north Edited May 9, 2005 by skidude Quote
AtomicSkier Posted May 9, 2005 Report Posted May 9, 2005 Just order it online, Don't see what the big deal is? Save yourself the hassle. The shipping will be less then the gas it takes to get down to Q-town and back for you. Quote
Justo8484 Posted May 9, 2005 Report Posted May 9, 2005 if you know what you want, call qtown (215-529-0100) and ask if they will send it up to the whitehall store for you, thats about 20-30 minutes closer to you, on rt. 145 about 5 miles from the allentown turnpike exit. Quote
Sno Mountain Skier Posted May 10, 2005 Author Report Posted May 10, 2005 The reason i dont order it is because when ever i do somethin goes wrong. Plus my mom makes a business trip down to allentown every month. Quote
Sno Mountain Skier Posted May 14, 2005 Author Report Posted May 14, 2005 (edited) A little help should i get an all brown setup or blue jacket with white pants. Edited May 14, 2005 by montageskier Quote
Wolverine21 Posted May 15, 2005 Report Posted May 15, 2005 is 3000 mm waterproof good or should i buy a jacket with 10000. will the 3000 keep you warm? Quote
RomeOp Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 (edited) two things... first, wolverine, the numbers have nothing to do with warmth...the first number tells you waterproofness and anything under 5k sucks. the second number is breathablity. same rule applies. for good gear thats gonna keep you dry and breath well start at 10K. warmth is all up to how well you layer second... Just order it online, Don't see what the big deal is? Edited May 16, 2005 by RomeOp Quote

Ski999 bought a pair of brand spankin new Atomic SL:11's for around $200. What will $200 get you in a store? Maybe 1/4 of the price of Volkl 5stars? Ebay rocks. Quote
skifreak Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 Yeah, I mean I'm all for supporting the local shops and all but why would you not buy them online if they are cheaper? Of course, nobody at my house will order them for me so I wind up buying my stuff at the shop. Quote

Online stuff is good for some bargains and you might even get some free socks along with a one of akind ski!! BTW I got boots for the grass skis for 99 cents ebay!! I guess I could have asked my shop and they might have given me a set of old rentals... Quote

I know there are some good people in some of the shops (I take it you are a ski shop employee). I don't get the feeling though that most people in the shops really care about the sport, or care about anything for that matter. It takes a superior package to make me a customer. In this case, I can go online, deal with people who will deal with me professionally, and get high quality gear for cheap. I can get ANY brand, not just the 3 brands the shop has deals with. Now I don't know if these people care about the sport either but at least, I have had positive experiences with my online purchases, can't say the same thing about all my experiences in a ski shop. It's not just about the money, because I buy all my cds from an independent music store. It costs more than online, but its a great atmosphere shopping. I can listen to the cd before I buy, the people are very personable, and have a clue. As far as needing a quick fix, I do more and more of my own work as I go anyways. Assuming all the shops go out of business because of the mail order world, in the long run I would be better off buying another new piece of equipment, because it's cheaper for me to buy two brand new boards online than it is to buy one new board in a store and get it fixed (this thought is laughable, since the mail order shops are just real shops that got smart and started doing online business. Which btw why isn't your shop?). Quote
Sno Mountain Skier Posted May 17, 2005 Author Report Posted May 17, 2005 I have actually changed my mind and am going to get stuff from oakley. i found a killer deal on a pant and jacket for only 190 for each. They both have 7000mm of waterprooofing. Quote
